It’s “royal.” It’s of “historic proportions.”Â It’s Chelsea Clinton’s wedding, and CBS apologizes for letting actual news get in the way of its breathless coverage.

Anchoring the coverage in Rhinebeck, Early Show weekend co-host Erica Hill, after referring to the event as “America’s royal wedding,” threw it back to a remorseful Chris Wragge in the studio, who promised to get back to Erica in “just a couple of minutes” after a couple of news items “we have to address.” When she got the ball back, Hill described the wedding as being of “historic proportions.”

So much for all that “Two Americas” talk that was so popular with our class warring brethren.Â How many Gulf Coast fishermen could that feed?Â How many poor, despondent 9/11 first responders?Â Or more appropriately for Frau Clinton, how many pets from a Sarah McLachlan ASPCA animal cruelty commercial could it save from the merciful death panels we all will enjoy soon enough?

After all, hetero marriage is just modern slavery.Â Wonderfully ornate and consensual slavery blessed by Vera Wang herself.

Our bosoms swell with pride that in a time of record unemployment, a collapsing economy, two wars and a DMZ on our southern border that a rich white woman and a rich white man can show us that the world can still be full of beauty if you have stolen enough money from the taxpayers to insulate yourself from it.

How does this escape the narrative?Â Apparently, the Clinton/Mezvinsky arrangement is supposed to create a genetically enhanced Super Kleptocrat capable of not knowing the definition of the word “is” in addition to being a “bipolar, one man crime wave”:

Criminal activities

Mezvinsky was involved in a series of business transactions that ultimately led to his downfall. Prosecutors later would call him a one-man crime wave.[1] In 2000, after examining his business deals since 1980, prosecutors said that they uncovered elements of fraud in nearly every one.[1]

It’s a match made in a federal penitentiary. Â Pre-natal care is a must for their first child.Â Especially if your gestation period is 9 months at 30% and time off for good behavior and your pediatrician doubles as your parole officer.

It says a lot about the national media when Red State has to be the first one get their hands on a Supreme Court nominee’s college thesis because they refuse to do even the most cursory due diligence.Â They just don’t want you to know and will only cover it if forced because you’re, like, totally making a big deal out of it for no reason.

Kagan is a Socialist.Â A big one.Â Just like the guy who nominated her though we can’t compare his college records because he ran for President, lied his way to victory, ruined the country in 14 months and the media has still decided not to investigate whether or not he was a C- student.Â After all, how can he be???Â He’s the smartest guy, most handsomest guy Marc Ambinder or Steve Benen ever rubbed their Viagra boners together over.

While Sully watched.Â Sorry, kiddo.Â But you’re a drain on our resources.Â Luckily, we were easily able to adapt that “fat kid” monitoring program to AIDS patients.

But say what you will about Kagan’s physical appearance, her ambiguous “It’s Pat” persona, or whether or not she looks more like a chunky Bob Costas than Dick Morris in a pantsuit but what you cannot argue is that she doesn’t know her Socialism.

Through its own internal feuding, then, the Socialist Party exhausted itself forever and further reduced labor radicalism in New York to the position of marginality and insignificance from which it has never recovered. (ed. – boohoo!)Â The story is a sad but also chastening one for those who, more than half a century after socialism’s decline, still wish to change America.

There’s that word again.Â But just what is it that Kagan wants to “change” America into?Â Early on she spoke of “the Bolshevik seizure of power holding a romantic allure” for her kind.

Radicals have often succumbed to the devastating bane of sectarianism; it is easier, after all, to fight one’s fellows than it is to battle an entrenched and powerful foe.Â Yet if the history of Local New York shows anything, it is that American radicals cannot afford to become their own worst enemies.Â In unity lies their only hope.

“In unity lies their hope.”Â The “lies” part I believe.

In other words, the “Workers of the world unite!” for the everybody gets a medal generation.

Their “hope” is the subjugation of liberty and individualism to the state.Â Their “change” is to lower the standard of living for all benighted plebe Americans, previously unaware of the class struggle, save those few noble Harvard/Yale souls called to rule them.Â After all, who could be more in touch with the common man or woman than people who paid $50k a year to go to college for six to ten years in hopes of getting a government job?

Such an undertaking has been attempted many times before and always with the same result.Â It requires the breaking of a few bourgeoisie eggs to make the omelet of Stalinism.Â If by “breaking” you mean killing and by “eggs” you mean people.

Such starry-eyed idealists can never allow a few misguided constitutionalists to stand in the way of the eternal struggle for Government over Individual inequality.

“Diversity”Â had its biggest setback since the last time this weekend when The Woman With The Biggest Chip On Her Shoulder gave a commencement speech to a bunch of neo-segregationists:

Michelle Obama told graduates Saturday to prepare to overcome adversity, building on Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1958 commencement address at the same university, when he told students to summon their courage to fight segregation.

The first lady gave an impassioned speech to 270 graduates of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff that referenced the legacy of their historically black school, which opened in 1873 with seven students, most of whom could barely read.

…

“Let’s just imagine how those seven students would feel if they could see you here today,” Obama told a packed downtown arena.

Imagine seven black students in 1873 cheering that their descendants would still be separated from learning with children of others races in the year 2010.Â By choice. Â In 1873, seven students could barely read.Â In 2010, they can barely comprehend.Â Your chocolate’s not going anywhere near my peanut butter!

If Martin Luther King Jr. “told students to summon their courage to fight segregation”, what measure of success is it that the President, his bitter half and a cottage industry of grievance colleges encourage drinking at a separate but equal educational water fountain?

People in the audience said they hope her appearance draws more attention to historically black colleges.

Promoting and underwriting a racially segregationist public education is banned by the Constitution and is downright un-American.Â It’s too bad that Mrs. Obama’s commencement speech is more akin to the Bull Connor than to Brown vs. the Board of Education.

While Treasuries backed by the full faith and credit of the government typically yield less than corporate debt, the relationship has flipped as Moodyâ€™s Investors Service predicts the U.S. will spend more on debt service as a percentage of revenue this year than any other top-rated country except the U.K. America will use about 7 percent of taxes for debt payments in 2010 and almost 11 percent in 2013, moving â€œsubstantiallyâ€ closer to losing its AAA rating, Moodyâ€™s said last week.

That is absurd.Â 11% to debt service.Â But what’s it all mean, Basil???

Imagine Uncle Sam taking his beat up jalopy to TitleMax and cashing his check at the liquor store.

It means -Â How many more “unexpected” jobs reports do you think you’re going to see before you learn to expect high unemployment?Â Even Administration Lackey Gheitner admitted as much.Â That was before this bill. This bill is a death sentence for small businesses looking to hire.

Lucifer got a new head librarian today and he’s already gotten to work re-writing The Bible as the tale of a struggling, working class imp denied a living wage and cast out of eternally subsidized housing by a Zionist slavedriver buttressed by embellished, anonymous and unsubstantiated accounts (narrated by Matt Damon):

Howard Zinn, the Boston University historian and political activist who was an early opponent of US involvement in Vietnam and whose books, such as “A People’s History of the United States,” inspired young and old to rethink the way textbooks present the American experience, died today in Santa Monica, Calif, where he was traveling. He was 87.

More empirical data that the good die young.

“Howard was an old and very close friend,” Chomsky said. “He was a person of real courage and integrity, warmth and humor. He was just a remarkable person.”

Despite Chomsky losing the un-American Simon to his traitorous Garfunkel, we can only hope that he will soon join him in blowing Cerberus for a few licks from his dog bowl while getting the hot poker to an endless replay of “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover”.

But it won’t all be fun and games.Â As punishment for overflowing Hell’s antiquated sewage system with his bullshit, the Dark Lord then sentences Zinn to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” for all eternity in front of a waving American flag and a burning Soviet one with no reprieve – save a glass of water with a twist of lemon and a loaded shotgun.

Thanks to the gubmint takeover of the auto industry, the insurance industry and the banks – I was reassured to hear last night during the speech that we “turned away from the brink”. Turning away from the brink evidently doesn’t mean that we should stop having the gubmint takeover the healthcare industry though.

U.S. mortgage foreclosure filings in August hovered near July’s record high despite broad efforts to keep borrowers in their homes and will probably rise for another year, according to a report released on Thursday.

Filings — including notices of default, auction and bank repossession — dipped 1 percent last month from July’s all-time high and were up 18 percent in August from the same month a year earlier, real estate data firm RealtyTrac said.

Ruh-roh. That would be the hyperpartisan, rightwing RealtyTrac calling Obama a liar for which they should promptly apologize and be censured for insulting the office of the Presidency.

“We had been thinking that this year would be the peak, but at the rate things are going right now, it’s appearing more likely that late 2010 might be the peak year before things start to moderate,” Sharga said.

You think you’ve turned the corner when the worst is yet to come. Wait for those state unemployment benefits to run out at the end of this year with our wonderful new and improved Jobless Recovery ™.

Thank you, Glenn Beck. By helping force the resignation of Van Jones, you have done a great service to your country. But in the exact opposite way than what you intended.

Your vile and vicious smear campaign has helped reverse one of the worst examples of miscasting since John Wayne took on the role of Genghis Khan in The Conqueror.

Contrary to the media caricature, the real Van Jones is a thoughtful leader who knows how to use words to move people to action. To stick him behind a desk, working out the details of tax credits for green jobs — incredibly important though the job is — was never the best use of his unique and abundant skills.

What a coincidence.Â I feel exactly the same way about one Barry Hussein Carter-Obonga.Â He would really be better suited giving marching orders than leading a democracy.Â Democracy’s are messy.Â And if I am to believe what the Vice PresidentÂ of the Hair Club for Men says, he’s also a rather clean fellow.

I’ve watched him hold an audience spellbound at a wide range of events — from progressive gatherings to the World Economic Forum.

And I’ve never failed to be impressed by Van. He is a remarkable man. One of the things I’ve always found so impressive about him — and something completely lost in the partisan mudslinging — is his ability to build coalitions and create unlikely alliances. In pursuit of a clean energy future for America, Van has successfully brought together urban youth with clean-tech entrepreneurs, labor leaders with business leaders, civil rights activists with environmentalists.

Foxes and henhouses.Â Matches withÂ gas.Â Xanax with Ex-lax.

I wrote about how the staid and anything-but-radical heads of the World Economic Forum had invited him to their conference and honored him as a “Global Leader for Tomorrow.” Jones had been protesting the World Trade Organization in Seattle and the International Monetary Fund in Washington. But that didn’t keep him from exchanging ideas with the rich and powerful at the Forum, or from keeping an open mind.

“The people I’ve met here,” Van told me at the time, “are much more thoughtful, complex, and concerned about social issues than either the left or the media portray them to be.”

And I’m sure no small honorarium to a mutually beneficial foundation couldn’t help grease the wheels to understanding how muchÂ more thoughtful, complex and for a negotiated rate concerned that the “rich and powerful” can be.Â This is a global shakedown racket.

Isn’t it time we acknowledge that no human being with any passion and deeply held beliefs ever emerged flawless into the world? And that if every mistake, misstep, boneheaded decision, or error in judgment becomes an automatic disqualifier for public service, then we’re going to be left with a political landscape filled with nothing but wrinkle-free, foible-free, passionless automatons who have never made a mistake because they never took the risk of having an original thought.

Who hasn’t made a rap LP with one of our nation’s most notorious copkillers?Â These kinds of “foibles” do just happen.Â Admitting on video that you’re using the pretext of “environmentalism” as a means to transfer wealth and overthrow the capitalist system in stages to fight whitey as he’s poisoning the black community….oh well.

Who can’t appreciate that level of candor? Â *sniff* At least he’s not dead inside like the rest of you. *sob*
(hurls third glass of Chardonnay against the wall)

Glenn Beck has taken Van out of his in-the-shadows position and thrust him into the spotlight. I told Van after his resignation that I hope he will take the extra attention and energy Beck created for him and, like a jujitsu black belt, turn the blow into an opening, an opportunity to transform the negative attack into something positive for himself and for the country.

Kind of like a woman who was taking her gay pretend Republican husband to the cleaners and parlayed that personal celebrity wreckage into one of the highest ranked leftwing websites today.

Never miss an opportunity to exploit a crisis.

The lecture tour awaits.Â Now get back out there and start saying all the crazy stuff that got you just apologized for.

Three people posed as insurance agents hawking President Obama’s health-care reform plan to gain entry to a Long Island home, where they pistol-whipped, shot and robbed two women and a man, authorities said.

…

Prosecutors said Thompson and Taylor approached a home on Virginia Avenue at around noon Friday, and then began to talk about Obama’s policies, while Jackson pushed into the door seeking cash.

Taylor allegedly pistol-whipped one woman, and Thompson shot another in the foot as Jackson led the man upstairs to retrieve some cash.

“When he didn’t get enough money, he shot the man twice in the neck, once in the back, and once in the chest,” said a Suffolk County prosecutor at the men’s arraignment.

Left-wing Spin Machine Powers Activate!

Under Obamacare, those people shot will now have access to free healthcare.Â They should be thanking their Obamacare representatives for being so proactive in helping them to understand the urgent need for change that The American People voted for in November.

Stuart Schwartz at the American Thinker has penned a scathing takedown of Peggy Noonan’s obsession with Sarah Palin. It is absolutely brilliant.

It’s brilliant because it’s beautifully written and spot on, but it is also brilliant because it nails the liberal country-club leadership of the GOP in the process. Noonan is one of the standard-bearers of the elitist, liberal, big-spending Republican party – the anti-Jim Demint, if you will. It cannot be denied, Peggy is skullcrushingly jealous of Sarah Palin, and simply can’t tolerate us rubes in flyover country, period.

You’re Peggy Noonan and you’re jealous. But it’s not the normal kind of jealous, the kind reserved for girlfriends who can squeeze into size 2 jeans. No, it’s the kind of jealous that hurts, that grabs your gut and twists, that has you howling with rage into your pillow in the middle of the night, screaming “It’s not fair” like a two-year-old denied another piece of cake. It is Sarah Palin jealous…and it is consuming you.
…
And, what’s worse, everyone continues to talk about her. You’ve tried everything, using your mainstream media platforms, your Wall Street Journal columns, and powerful friends — so many of them — to savage her, to give her a rhetorical beating so fierce that it would bring a smile to the face of Vince McMahon — if you knew who he is, and if you had ever watched a WWE wrestling match, which he heads. “She is a complete elite confection. She might as well have been a bonbon,” you wrote, your $300 manicured fingers shaking on the keyboard.

Can’t you just visualize Peggy sitting down at her Mac laptop, sipping an $8 Starbucks latte, eyes filled with rage and disbelief that someone left the servants’ door open, allowing this weapon-wielding guttersnipe into the comfy, elitist confines of the GOP?

Speaking of the elitists in the GOP, who want to keep liberal Republicans like Charlie Crist and John McCain in power, they will be none-too-pleased to know that actual conservative Pat Toomey has pulled into a tie with former-RINO Snarlin’ Arlen Sphincter in PA. Now if Marco Rubio can gain some traction in Florida, we can really get a GOP purge underway.

DETROIT (AdAge.com) — Chrysler wanted to spend $134 million in advertising over the nine weeks it’s expected to be in bankruptcy — the U.S. Treasury’s auto-industry task force gave it half that.

When Obama starts believing that he is Auto Exec of the Year as he joked at the Limbaugh Lynching then their failure is completely on him. When you start telling car companies what kind of cars they can make, how much they’re allowed to advertise and how much they can charge for them then you should get fired when they collapse. Carry the same risk any other Exec does.

Any Lender knows that you’re going to shoulder the blame if you start telling your customer how to run their business. In a courtroom, you do not even want the appearance of having a hand in their business making decisions.

For a point of reference, Obama is telling Chrysler that they are only allowed to spend $67 million dollars in advertising while what was left of their image is being dragged through bankruptcy proceedings. $67 million is roughly 22% of what one Barack Obama spent advertising to become President when they’re trying to save their multi-billion dollar company, employees, shareholders, subsidiaries, etc. That 22% is quite generous too. $67 million is a much smaller percent of what Obama spent though it would be great to compare how much he spent in the last nine weeks of the campaign.

If I’m their competitor, my ad campaign starts today and ends with “Buy Your Car From A Company That’s Going To Be Around In 6 Months”. Otherwise, if you buy a car from the rats that took government money all you are doing is propping up the Union that overthrew the Board in a bloodless coup so the average dues paying member could make $75k a year and have three months of vacation to manufacture a car no one was buying in the first place.

Let me say this.Â You don’t need real cocaine to put out a fake video.Â You don’t need a hidden camera if you’re using an actress.Â Â You don’t hire a law firm in advance of selling the tape if it’s fake.Â If it was fake both Biden and his daughter would be out loud and proud in front of the cameras proclaiming their innocence.

RadarOnline.com viewed the tape but did not offer to purchase it.The man who made the tape shopped it to several media outlets but did not receive any written offers, we’ve learned.

Now, RadarOnline.com has discovered that the woman who is alleged to be Ashley Biden was set up in an elaborate plot by her “friend.” The man bought cocaine and a hidden camera and brought the cocaine to a party.

He then made sure that he was in correct position to film her when she snorted the drugs.

The seller had planned to get the woman alleged to be Ashley on tape doing drugs for at least three weeks. The tape was shot this year.

It is clear from the tape that the woman said to be Ashley Biden does not know she is being filmed.

There is nothing illegal about videotaping someone without their permission unless they have an expectation of privacy. For example, some place like the inside of your home by yourself or in a bathroom.Â We’re videotaped every day without our permission.Â At a traffic light.Â At a store by surveillance.

Having someone else in the room with you diminishes any expectation of privacy you might have in the event you decide to start wiping your ass or hoovering up a mirrorful of sweet Colombian Marching Powder in plain view.

Let’s all tilt our heads to the left and wipe that tear out of our eyes.Â It’s all gonna be ok, pumpkin.Â We’ll announce in the press conference that you’re already seeking treatment at a swanky rehab centre and that this is “a private family” matter and that they hope the press will let this story die so this poor, little rich girl can get the help she so desperately couldn’t have cared less about before this video surfaced.

Most college kids get away with it. But when you’re famous and shadowed by a stone-faced guardian with a squiggly radio cord coming out his ear, delivering the fake ID with nonchalance is a challenge.

So President Bush’s twin daughters got caught. Last week, Jenna and Barbara Bush landed in the nation’s newspapers and all over TV, one charged with possessing alcohol, the other with using someone else’s ID.

The Bush White House responded to the widespread coverage by taking snide shots at journalists in a news conference and getting testy in private discussions. What they want is simple: The same hands-off coverage that Chelsea Clinton received as a child of the first family. Whether they recognize it or not, that’s exactly what they are getting. Most responsible media avoid writing about presidential children â€” unless their actions force them into the limelight.

…

It’s not just a family story either. As governor, Bush signed the law that stiffens the penalty for second and third alcohol offenses in Texas. A majority in the U.S. House and Senate voted to withhold federal dollars from states that didn’t stiffen enforcement of under-age drinking laws.

…

Coverage of alcohol and the legal system is not pointless. Both impact millions every year. With Bush’s daughters entangled in the two, expecting media silence is fantasy.

Forbid!Â Alcohol and the legal system.Â It impacts millions.Â To expect media silence is fantasy.

Seriously.Â I do not even care if she did it.Â I want everything decriminalized. Â What matters is the selective media blackout when we have clear-cut examples of a double standard.Â That and that Joe Biden has gleefully tossed millions in jail and ruined their lives for doing less than his daughter is alleged to have done.

The Hamtastic Mary Katherine, a favorite of this blog and all meat byproducts, warns us of theÂ incoming Trade Rep. (I know, exciting stuff but it gets better and “better”, I mean worse) being touted by one Pres. Barrington H. O’Snobba for The Great Trade War Czar :

Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Los Angeles) could become the administration’s point person on international trade. He’s a terrible choice, and not just because of a history of unsavory behavior — such as his successful efforts to win a pardon from President Clinton for convicted cocaine kingpin Carlos Vignali, or the screamingly unethical robo-calls his campaign engineered during his run for Los Angeles mayor in 2001. Becerra is a leader of the Democratic Party’s protectionist wing, which opposes NAFTA, the Dominican Republic-Central American Free Trade Agreement and most other trade deals.

Now for the worst part.Â The typically and predictably Chicago part. Â In a news item that I have seen no one really commenting on today, Obama threatens to unleash the power of Urkelnomics on the soon to be unemployed masses by way of a brainless trust of narrow special interest bundlers and fundraisers he’s dubbing the “Economic Recovery Advisory Board”.Â Â Tell me if you think these people should be advising anyone about what it takes to jumpstart an economy:

Choosing from corporate boardrooms, labor unions (lulz) and academia (hahahahahaha!), President Obama named a team of outsideÂ (ROTFFSMFP) economic advisers Friday that he says he will turn to for help in boosting the sagging U.S. economy.

Expanded union influence and wealth re-distribution! It worked for the UAW, let’s do more!

S.2 — Middle Class Opportunity Act of 2009. Sound familiar? This is a retread of a bill sponsored by Senator Chuck Schumer in the last Congress that has a variety of tax reform goals; the additional descriptions in this bill include hints at union support (“ensuring workers can exercise their rights to freely choose to form a union without employer interference”) and perhaps another go at the Ledbetter law (“removing barriers to fair pay for all workers”).

Bought too much house? Living way outside your means? Don’t sweat it. The rest of us will pay your bills, by force of course, courtesy of the loving Feds.

S.3 — Homeowner Protection and Wall Street Accountability Act of 2009. This bill will include a moratorium on foreclosures, Senator Dick Durbin’s plan to allow for easier reworking of troubled mortgages by bankruptcy judges, new regulations for the credit card and financial industry, and investment in the Small Business Administration to provide loans for small businesses in need.

Socialized medicine! Tired of inconveniences like freedom of choice and personal responsibility when it comes to healthcare? Let the Feds handle it for you. Here’s your card, you’ll get your office visit in 2011.

S.4 — Comprehensive Health Reform Act of 2009. “It is the sense of Congress that Congress should enact, and the President should sign, legislation to guarantee health coverage, improve health care quality and disease prevention, and reduce health care costs for all Americans and the health care system.”

Crippling restrictions on industry! Act now and maybe the myth of global warming can cost you your job in 2009!

S.5 — Cleaner, Greener, and Smarter Act of 2009. This is a bill that focuses mainly on green investment and updating infrastructure to be more efficient and less polluting. But since a lot of those priorities are expected to be rolled into the stimulus package, one wonders if this is a vehicle for cap-and-trade and the Kyoto Protocols, given this provision: “requiring reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases in the United States and achieving reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases abroad.”

If you loved “No Child Left Behind”, you’ll love this new pile of shit! The Feds once again prove that they have no business in the realm of education. They’ve teamed up with the teachers’ unions to destroy K-12 and now they’re going to pay your college tuition. Just remember, health care and college are human rights in today’s Amerika.

S.7 — Education Opportunity Act of 2009. “To expand educational opportunities for all Americans by increasing access to high-quality early childhood education and after school programs, advancing reform in elementary and secondary education, strengthening mathematics and science instruction, and ensuring that higher education is more affordable.” An education omnibus bill that will no doubt be split up into separate pieces of legislation.

Rolling back the late-term regulations and legislation from the last administration. Let’s say, everything from about January 2001 through January 2009.

S.8 — Returning Government to the American People Act. “To return the Government to the people by reviewing controversial ‘midnight regulations’ issued in the waning days of the Bush Administration.” A sentiment we can all get behind, which promises to provide the new administration legislative authority, if it doesn’t have it already, to review (and presumably deny) the last administration’s late regulations.

Nothing says fiscal responsibility like spending trillions and trillions on new handouts, new un-necessary government jobs and destroying small and medium-sized businesses, which are the only entities that can actually help expand the taxpayer base and increase revenue to the Federal budget. Oh yeah, and wealth redistribution! Fiscal responsibility = equality of standards-of-living, regardless of personal effort or achievement.

S.10 — Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009. Gosh, this one is interesting. It’s one part congressional hand-wringing over the fact that “the Federal budget is on an unsustainable path of rising deficits and debt,” and it calls for a study of this. It’s one part fiscal hawkery, supporting “strong pay-as-you-go rules, to help block the approval of measures that would increase the deficit.” And it’s one part … populist? “A review of the current system of taxation of the United States to ensure that burdens are borne fairly and equitably.” That could be the justification for the Bush tax cut rollback in 2010.

I’m so excited I could crap my pants. And with Tennessee’s tough-guy Senators leading the way, I’m not confident that the GOP will be doing much fighting back. They’ve laid down like cheap hookers for the Donks for the last decade-plus, why should we expect backbone now? Prove me wrong, GOP. Please!
